Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most
effective for giving tone and strength
to the enfeebled system, promoting the
digestion and assimilation Of food, restor-
ing the nervous forces to their normal
condition, and for purifying, enriching,
and yitalizing the blood.
